Download or read book Static Aerodynamic Stability Characteristics of a Body of Revolution with Wraparound Fins at Mach Numbers from 1.6 to 2.86 written by John E. Vaughn and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental aerodynamic investigations were conducted in the NASA Langley Unitary Plan wind tunnel for several wraparound fins with straight and with swept leading edge mounted on bodies of revolution. Mach number ranged from 1.6 to 2.86 while angle of attack was varied from -6 degrees to 6 degrees at 0 degrees sideslip angle. Six component aerodynamic force and moment data were recorded on the complete missile configuration while simultaneously recording the aerodynamic normal force and bending moments acting on each fin. The results of these tests are presented herein in plotted form. The number designation given the test is UPWT 980.
